Earl Grey Tea Cookies
The perfect little treat at tea time or anytime -- Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Drinking tea while nibbling tea cookies made with tea. There’s a satisfying circularity in that. Plus the cookies are darn delicious – also satisfying! 
The caveat is you must like Earl Grey tea. I do, I do, but also know more than a few tea lovers who recoil from that distinctive flavor (psst, it’s bergamot, a variety of orange). I'm sure you could make these cookies substituting another flavor of tea.
The Occasion: Tea time is Me time. Or perhaps it’s tea for two you have in mind. Or high tea for a handful of high society ladies and gents. These Earl Grey Tea Cookies will raise a smile from all who choose to indulge. 
The Recipe: There are many Earl Grey Tea cookie recipes out there in the world. This one is extremely easy, tailor-made for make-ahead scenarios, and oh by the way the cookies taste great! The recipe comes from kitchn, a very popular website with cooking lessons, kitchen tips, product reviews, and yes, user-friendly recipes. Check it out!

Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Recipe source: Faith Durand for kitchn
Makes approximately 2 dozen

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 
  • 1/4 cup sugar 
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 
  • 1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves (OK to cut open tea bags, good texture to the tea leaves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS:
  • Pulse together all the dry ingredients in a food processor until the tea leaves are pulverized.
  • Add vanilla, water, and butter. Pulse together until a dough is formed.
  • Form the dough into a log onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. Wrap the paper around and roll the log smooth.
  • Freeze now, or chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • If baking cookies now, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • When chilled, slice the log into 1/3-inch thick pieces. Place on baking sheets and bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
